In France, Poland and Spain there are usually large signs to the different supermarkets, which we find very useful as we often plan to stop and shop as we travel around; you can only get so much from the local markets and supermarkets have their uses.
When travelling in unknown parts of the UK, there are no signs and we start by taking a good guess at where the out of town shops might be and if that fails ask helpful locals.
Would anyone else like to see signs to supermarkets springing up in the UK? If so, should these be advertising signs 'Tesco second left, 2 miles' or a national scheme like the brown signs?
Or do you think these signs will be unsightly and make the UK even more untidy?
Look forward to hearing your views.

There isnt a "NO!" box so how can you get a representative poll???

Personally I think we have far too many signs in the UK (and part of my job is to decide on if and where road signs go up!)

So my vote is a firm NO

Found them very useful in France especially in areas that was not familiar with. This would be handy in Uk when traveling about

Sat Nav can find major stores.
I think we may have enough signs. Sometimes I am so busy reading one sign I may miss a more important one, or a traffic light.

Not for me thanks.
Already too many signs to read and supermarket signs would be crass in the extreme.

I bet a certain fellow votes yes as long as they're all Tesco signs. Very Happy

I've got an even better idea - let's get rid of the horrible things altogether - supermarkets that is, not signs.

Sorry - I have put the No option in numerous times, but MHF is not including it! Goodness knows why. So, I've deleted the poll.

No from me too.

Especially if there anything like those annoying French ones..

Example

Super U - 5 min - direction Tours

I don't know what speed they are expecting you to do to get there in 5 Mns but they always seem much further away than that. Then the Tours signposts run out Evil or Very Mad

Satnav poi's for me.

My sat/nav tells us as we have tesco's store finder book and we just put the post codes in.
Or I look up Google earth on my ipad.
Also there are signs that say Superstore so you know there is a supermarket around. Wink
